Casting For Recovery

We’re all looking forward to the November 15th meeting. The program will be a presentation about Casting for Recovery by Tracy Woods the Indiana Retreat Leader. looking forward to information about Casting for Recovery activities in Indiana and how we might help.

In addition, Wayne Woods will present an  information session about the River Watcher organization. Perhaps we may get a bit of information about how the recent gasoline spill has or may effect Clear Creek.

Among the other fun filled events for the evening will be a preview of the Christmas Party raffle item. This is a nifty little locally built rod and reel outfit, stay tuned for details. As always we will have a raffle at the meeting with a nice array of fishing/outdoor stuff. Thanks to Mike for his work on the Raffle.

As usual we will meet at the Legion. Dinner at 6:00 program at 7:00.

The Yellowwood Lake clean-up this Saturday Nov 12 has been cancelled due to weather concerns.

See you all on the 15th,

Tim

August 2022 HFF Meeting

The August meeting of the HFF will be August 16th. As always we will meet at the American Legion in Bloomington at 6:00 PM for dinner and the meeting at 7:00 PM. In addition to the announcements and round table there will be a raffle. Future programs include an outing to Yellowwood when the weather is a little better. The October program will be most interesting, we are having Joe Smith of Healing Waters giving a presentation on their goals and activities. In November we will be having a program featuring Casting For Recovery. These programs are not to miss. As is always the case, we look for your suggestions.

The program this month will be two part. First, Larry Barber will be discussing the Copper John Fly. The Copper John, developed by famous tier John Barr, should be in every trout fisher’s fly box and rumor has it that local (one pound) Bluegill are also attracted to this little bugger. The second part of the program will be a real treat, Barry Clarke will tie a Copper John.

This is an excellent book to add to your library,” Barr Flies” by John Barr. The flies in the book are tied by Charlie Craven. Check out Charlies Fly Box for some first class videos. I am betting there is a 99.97% chance Larry will mention this book in his presentation. Here is a video of the “Barr’s Copper John Fly Tying Instructions Tied by Charlie Craven“.  Barry’s demo will give us an up-close chance to see the fly tied and a chance to ask questions. Videos are great but in person demos are much better…ask questions.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 16th.
